Aurora wore stillness and cool composure like warriors wore armor and weapons.
When she kept touching that necklace, I knew something was wrong.
Then I felt the air gel around my body, and Id had no more than an instant to react.
Now I couldnt move, except to breathe, blink, and speak.
But I had her pinned with her back against my chest.
She pressed hard against me; her chin lifted to keep her neck from pressing into my raised claws.
If she relaxed, if she even twitched, my claws would open her throat, and there would be nothing I could do about it.
It had been a clever move, but my wolf hated it .
He snapped and snarled and paced inside my mind, and nothing I did could calm Chapter 163 him.
2/5 Not for killing, he growled atwhen I could get him to answer at all.
She is not for killing.

Well? I growled softly.
Would you? I would die for you in an instant.
Her voice was barely a breath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven so, I felt my claws slide just a fraction into her skin.
Felt their edges go warm with blood.
But not like this.
She lifted her hand and touched the pearl pendant.
All of a sudden, I could move.
I jerked my claws away from her neck.
with a speed that surprised even me.
Before she could move, I snatched her, turned her in my arms, and kissed her.
I didnt know what the hell I was thinking.
I wasnt.
But I couldnt feel her pressed against my body like that and not claim her mouth for my own.
Not when she was this close, this fucking soft.

I took that invitation.
I invaded her, stole what shed taken fromand claimed even more.
She melted against me.
That should have felt like victory, like Id won the war of wills.
This tugging need to constantly pull each other off balance.
Instead, her melting just drovecloser to the edge of a cliff.
I needed this woman.
As soon as I had laid eyes on her, every second of not having her had drivenmad.
Then, when my guard was down, she did pull away.
Fast.
Moving for the safety of the barrier.
Oh, hell no.
If she wanted to try and capture me, two people could play that game.
But the second she moved, so did the giant beta.
She jumped for him, and he grabbed her in his arms and spun her back inside the barrier.
She stumbled against his chest, pressed her hands against him to steady herself.

I practically had my nose pressed against that barrier.
But my enemies were on Chapter 163 4/5 the other side, and if I entered, I wouldnt have my shadows, so there was no way I was going to cross it.

Whoever I had been, there was no power, no magic, that would bring that man back.
Except for his family ... I ignored the voice in my mind the memory of those children. That had been a momentary lapse.

I stood until I couldnt see them anymore, then I looked at the wolves who remained.
Shad gone with Aurora and Trajan, but not all.
Evelyn and a few other female wolves stood near the barrier.
Evelyn lookedup and down.

Almost wistful.
